The Top 5 Plus-Size Clothing Stores for Women

It may seem slow, but the fashion industry is finally starting to inch toward body inclusivity. If you find yourself in any non-standard category, whether plus-size, tall, or petite, you know there's still a long way to go. But, we've been excited by a few promising trends in plus-size clothing stores lately. It's so refreshing to see some plus-size models who actually wear a 14 or larger, instead of a size 8. We've been delighted to watch designers who create their patterns using real women, so the clothes flatter you in all the right ways.

That said, navigating the changing landscape of plus-size clothing is still a real challenge. It's hard to know where to find fashion-forward, good quality brands for plus-size women. Many clothing stores still offer limited styles and higher prices for plus-size garments. A few brands, however, are leading the way forward, and we're happy to see the progress that's been made. Check out these forward-thinking, size-inclusive brands for a fun and refreshing wardrobe update!
